I’ll start with the good things. What staff there were, they were very pleasant. The pods are fastidiously clean, well appointed with a very comfortable bed. The hotel reception/bar/restaurant is beautiful. But, and there’s a big but, I would absolutely not recommend staying at this hotel. We arrived to be told that the restaurant was closed two days a week and was unavailable to us and ‘have you not received the email?’. No we had not received the email and we would not have paid over £300 per night for a hotel with no restaurant. It turns out that ‘because you booked with Expedia you won’t have got an email’. This explanation is not acceptable and we feel very much aggrieved. We had to go searching for somewhere to get lunch after a very long drive to Skye. Also the entrance is very poorly signposted and after having had to go out for dinner, we completely missed the entrance on our return in the dark. On the upside, we discovered a beautiful hotel where the food was amazing and where we will be staying in two weeks time when we return to Skye. There was no fridge, so the milk left for tea and coffee went off. All in all, very disappointing from a venue that held so much promise.

There is something so romantic about staying in a place that feels both secluded but with all the little touches of high end finishing a one could need. I want to address a few of the other comments, yes the physical rooms are small and do not have a lot of space for an American sized suitcase, yes the bathroom is small and is in the same hut therefore can lead to a lack of privacy for certain aspects of life so if you are looking for physical space and privacy from your partner do not book here. If you are looking for a one of a kind experience that makes you feel like you are the only person standing on a hill with the vast isle of Skye with City and water views before you this is the place. The heated floors were so well received after a day of hiking I could not stop commenting. The bed linens felt so luxurious and for a smaller room the bed felt enormous. There was more than enough storage space for everything and the tiny bathroom had such nice toiletries I had to track down the supplier before leaving the island so I could bring it home with me. (Not hard to do they can be found a 5 minute drive away on the way out of town). The shower was small but mighty and gave the perfect amount of pressure after walking the hills all day. The staff were exceptionally friendly without being overbearing (shoutout to Aiden and Lola ) always with a smile or a suggestion for activities. The hotel bar also felt so luxe and the lobby views left my jaw on the floor

Pros: great real estate. The pods are cute and cosy and at the top of the hill have amazing views. The interior design in the main building is impressive and well thought out. The breakfast was great with full table service, and is much improved from earlier reviews I read. Cons: 1. We booked several weeks in advance into the restaurant for a Friday night dinner - bookings are essential in Skye. We checked in that afternoon and found out the restaurant was closed and nobody had contacted us. Impossible to get in anywhere for dinner at short notice so we had to eat from a burger van in the Co-op car park nearby (actually quite good!). We weren’t offered any compensation for the inconvenience until we asked for it. 2. I don’t believe they clean the rooms very thoroughly between guests. We found two items in separate places in the pod from previous guests that were quite obvious (one in an open shelf by the bed, one in the bottom of the wardrobe) 3. The walk to the pods at the top of the hill is a steep climb. They take your suitcases up for you in a golf buggy but you have to walk yourself. If you have a disability that impacts your ability to walk / climb steep hills, I would suggest notifying the hotel in advance so you can be in a pod further down the hill

The view from our hide was amazing! Breakfast was delicious! Be aware there is a hike to your room and it is difficult to get a ride to town. Check in was difficult. Waitresses and bartenders were very attentive.

This was hands down one of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at! Our room was clean, cozy, and full of amenities. Our daily free breakfast was unlike anything we’ve ever experienced so many options and made to order. The dinner was amazing everything was cooked to perfection! The Haggis bon bons are a must try! The staff are incredible, so informative, and so accommodating. This was such a beautiful place, we will definitely be back on our next trip to the highlands.

We loved our stay at the Bracken Hide! The cottages/huts were modern facilities, yet so charming and comfortable. You do have to be able to walk up a hill to get to your cottage, but there is a porter who takes your bags up and down for you. We loved the restaurant. Our dinner there the first night was spectacular, probably the best salmon we've ever had and the breakfast was truly extraordinary in presentation and taste. The staff was so kind, generous and informative. They gave great suggestions and went out of their way to make sure we felt taken care of. We highly recommend staying at the Brecken Hide!

Beautiful views, fantastic restaurant. While the walk up the hill to our cabin was a bit much, the view, the quiet, and the uniqueness of it all more than made up for it. We had a fantastic time.

Very unique little pods overlooking beautiful rolling hills and the harbour. Full streaming services and excellent onsite restaurant. Clean and cozy. Also, lovely staff, especially Shannon, our server. Lots of tea, coffee, and treats that were complimentary. My only complaint was that the water for the shower could have been hotter. The water both days was not hot enough. Other than that the place was perfect.
